Positive Parenting and my Experience.
Positive parenting is essential for a happier, healthier & prosperous family. Parenting is all about upbringing our children in the right way so they can contribute best to the world. The first stakeholder of positive parenting is always the household. That's the magic of positive parenting. Because we can get the fruit that we have planted. How we are bringing our children is how the world will be, right?
That's why we need to talk, learn, share more about positive parenting!
Unfortunately, this is not a conventional topic around the world. People still think parenting just a 'thing'. Like we gave birth and we will automatically be able to take the best care of our kids. I don't know what's happening in your part of the world. But here, I have seen this perception a lot. And it's wrong in every way. Nobody is born as a parent. No matter if you are a caregiver, grandparent, or foster parent; you also gradually learn to become the best parent.
That's the reason, I always feel like we need to talk more about positive parenting, different parenting skills, and all about parenting as a whole.
Let me share my story with you...
I'm a first-time mom, it was not easy to adapt myself to positive parenting. Especially when we are going through a tough time because of the CoronaVirus. I wouldn't claim it was ever easy for me. Because I had to bring my son all alone with my husband, without any support from my son's grandparents. They live in different places and were busy with their own life. Also, I had to give up on my career, my multinational job to take care of my son. So, it was tough enough to be in a positive mood all the time.
That's another story, I will share someday.
Gradually I learned, I need to be more positive. Because I was losing myself. I was going through anxiety, sleep deprivation, anger management issues, and all. It was a must needed thing for me to start learning about positive parenting. Because without it, I would not be here, healthier and happier with my family. I believe this understanding made me create this community.
Parenting is a big responsibility. Children need so many things - food, dresses, healthcare, learning aids, relationship lessons, games, so many subjects. It is like running a company with multiple staff members.
